a snippet from ellipsus, off-white text on a deep red-brown background His reflection stares back at him, and on his left cheek, just below the bone, sits a palm sized, purpled bruise. It's not deep, will likely start yellowing by tomorrow, but it stands out against the stark white lines of scar tissue. Unsettled, Ghost looks away, ends up staring at the white-knuckled grip he has on the vanity. He hates this, bruising like a peach; it makes him feel delicate, frail. His skin used to be thicker, before everything. Even wearing the gaiter, it'll still be partially visible, and Ghost really isn't looking forward to that conversation. Christ, it feels like he's nine again, hoping his teacher won't ask any questions. (Dropped a glass, mouthed off. Two stitches in his lip. Told her,"S'nothin, Mrs Williams, I fell off my bicycle yesterday s'all." ) /End alt text. a snippet from ellipsus, off-white text on a deep red-brown background Resigned, he quietly slips back down the hall and into the bedroom. It's just his luck that Roach is already awake. He looks up as Ghost shuts the door behind himself. "Hey, do y- What-" he's immediately on his feet and standing in front of Ghost. With a gentle hand on his chin, Roach directs him to turn his head so he can inspect the bruise. "Someone hit you." It's not a question, so Ghost says nothing. He gently pushes Roach's arm away, moving around him. Naturally, Roach isn't about to drop the matter, "Who?" "Roach, s'nothin," he digs his e-reader out of his bag, sitting on his bed and propped against the wall. "Don't worry about it." "Ghost-" he's interrupted by a light knock, followed by Lorna's voice. "If ye lads are up, Neil's makin breakfast," she informs from the other side of the door. /End alt text

Jimmy Fallon has always fucking sucked. His Barry Gibb was trash. Couldn’t get thru Cowbell. Wanted to do a sketch about the Fitz. Fucking hack.
A close-up photograph of a Kindle or e-reader screen displaying text, with a highlighted passage. The highlighted text reads: "Lightfoot and his bandmates have been careful about how and where they play it, too. When Jimmy Fallon wanted to do a comedy bit based on the song, Lightfoot rejected the idea out of hand, before it could go anywhere." The screen also shows the remaining text of the paragraph and the bottom status bar with "71% \cdot 4 mins left in chapter" and "Word Wise."

I prefer physical books. I like the sensation of holding a book in my hands. Kindle/e-reader is a close second

There's a few bugs still and not everything is implemented yet but I've got a beta version of my web app to make Pokémon e-Reader cards! It only handles the RS style cards for now but I'll extend it for all the trainer cards in Gen 3 tools.paccypad.com/ecardcreator...

I like all formats. I prefer to have the audio book as well as the physical book (or e-book) so I can switch between the two. I like my e-reader for reading at night.

i have an e-ink ebook reader that is the same size as my phone, and this is really what i prefer. one-handed ebook reading. i've gotten terribly spoiled; normal books feel unwieldy and audiobooks go too slow (even sped up).

Episode 2 - Shadowbird

#art #webcomic #furry

On the wall behind shrapnel is a sign with a red crossed out circle, below which is some illegible text. Around the edge of the wall is the dark silhouette of a dinosaur-like creature with feathers on the back of its head, an open mouth with sharp teeth, and glowing white eyes and claws. One of the clawed hands is reaching around the edge. The text "Shadowbird" is in the bottom left corner of the panel showing the title of this issue.

Shrapnel is looking at Hammer who is off screen. Shrapnel has an unamused look on her face. The sky is dark. There are some bushes in the background. Shrapnel is saying 'So... we're after a "shadowbird?" What the hell is that?' Hammer's disembodied head is against a white background next to a detailed illustration of a T-rex eating something. Hammer's mouth is open. Hammer is saying "A long time ago, there were these big birds. A big extinction event killed them and now they haunt the world as ghouls."

Don't piss your pants over it."Extreme close-up of the shadowbird's eye. The eye is mostly white, with a light gray iris and a long thin pupil. Around the eye are details of feathers or scales. Someone is off screen saying "I just hope it's close. I'm starting to get bored." Shrapnel is standing in front of bushes and coniferous trees. The sky is dark and the moon is large in the center of the panel giving everything a rim light. The shadowbird is jumping out from one of the bushes towards Shrapnel.

The sky is dark and there are bushes. Shrapnel and Hammer are talking off screen. Their speech bubbles are color coordinated. Shrapnel's speek bubbles are red. Hammer's speech bubbles are lilac.

I love my Nook, but am befuddled at the trend away from e-ink. If I’m not using e-ink, I may as well have just bought a tablet, rather than an e-reader.

audiobooks mean i can read AND craft, without needing my partner to be free to read to me. i prefer physical books when I'm reading aloud to the kids, but I'll take ebooks in libby, especially if we're not sure we want to keep the books. (if i can get it to load, i prefer e-ink reader to phone.)

All of the above, if you substitute iPhone for Kindle/e-reader.

For Libby/digital library books, I'll grab both the audiobook and the digital copy if both are available.

I still buy & read physical books; I do give more away now instead of amassing them at the old rate.

Physical books are my go-to, but I've never had a problem with other mediums before. Never used a kindle/e-reader before, but I have downloaded pdfs of books to read on my phone, so maybe that counts 📚

One thing I noticed when reading Salem's Lot this summer is that e-reader backlighting, for me, is not compatible with horror. I need an aged, yellowed paperback with a ratty cover and the smell of decay. Cursed objects are important.

I would like to try a ReMarkable or other dedicated e-reader with a reactive screen for writing with a stylus (I did enjoy attempting to write on an iPad with an Apple Pencil), but that's a bit too much money to sink into something for a casual curiosity.
